“…Considerando la gran cantidad de tiempo que permanecen en ella, las escuelas son el lugar más probable donde niños y adolescentes pueden recibir estos servicios, sumado a la importante influencia socializadora de la institución y la asociación existente entre el aprendizaje y los trastornos mentales (Domitrovich et al, 2010;Macklem, 2014;Petras et al, 2008). De hecho, la OMS (2004) recomienda los programas escolares como una estrategia efectiva para la promoción y prevención en salud mental, especialmente los programas integrales que abordan la ecología escolar y el desarrollo de destrezas individuales de estudiantes, profesores y padres.…”

El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar los logros de la aplicación piloto de un taller preventivo de salud mental en adolescentes de 8 colegios de la comuna de Lo Espejo de la Región Metropolitana de Santiago de Chile, los que participaron durante el año 2011 en el programa chileno "Habilidades para la Vida II". El propósito fue explorar los alcances de la aplicación del taller preventivo, de una duración de 6 meses, sobre las variables desadaptación escolar (DE) y disfunción psicosocial (DP) de los adolescentes. Se diseñó un estudio pre-experimental sin grupo control, con mediciones pre y post. Se trabajó con una muestra intencionada intensa de 65 estudiantes de ambos sexos que cursaban 7º año básico al momento de la intervención. Se realizaron ANOVA de medidas repetidas y pruebas t para muestras relacionadas. Los resultados obtenidos mostraron que el taller disminuyó en los alumnos los niveles de los factores de riesgo asociados a DE; en cambio, no fue efectivo en modificar la DP de los adolescentes.

The study sought to explore the effects of the application of this 6-month preventive intervention on the adolescents' school maladjustment (SM) and psychosocial dysfunction (PD) variables. A pre-experimental study with no control group and with pre-and post-intervention measurements was designed. Purposive intensity sampling was used to select 65 adolescents of both sexes attending 7 th grade at the time of the intervention. The analysis considered repeated measures ANOVA and t-tests for related samples. The results showed that the intervention reduced the level of the risk factors associated with SM; however, it was not effective in modifying the adolescents' PD.

“…It is essential to regard school adaptation difficulties as risk factors for developing mental health issues in the future (Lee et al, 2011;Petras et al, 2005) and not as mental health problems in themselves. It will make it possible to generate preventive strategies that improve student adjustment through the development of socioemotional competencies aligned with schools' goals (Forman et al, 2009;Macklem, 2014).…”

“…It is also ideal for conducting protective and restorative interventions (George et al, 2012). This evidence, combined with the crucial socializing influence of school and the connection between learning and mental disorders (Domitrovich et al, 2009;Macklem, 2014;Petras et al, 2005), makes it necessary to implement preventive strategies to reduce the future risk of psychological and behavioral disorders.…”

BACKGROUND Poor mental health outcomes persist among adolescent youth. Secondary schools play a critical role in fostering positive mental health by implementing policies and practices grounded in evidence. The factors associated with implementation, however, are unclear. This study examines which school‐ and state‐level factors are associated with improved implementation of mental health policies and practices at secondary schools across the United States. METHODS US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data stemming from 3 datasets (School Health Policies and Practices, School Health Profiles, and Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System) surveys were integrated and analyzed. RESULTS Health educator certification, school use of data during school improvement planning, presence of a health/safety coordinator, presence of a health council and state‐provided health educator professional development in mental health and suicide prevention were each significantly positively associated with schools' implementation of mental health policies and practices. CONCLUSIONS To promote improved implementation of mental health policies and practices in schools and provide better support for youth mental health outcomes, the use of certified health educators and health‐related supports should be considered. State health and education agencies should undertake evaluations of its mental health practices to ensure the assistance they offer to schools is evidence based.
